FWIW, I'm still learning this predator hunting thing - still deciding where to set up stands, how to get to them, which rifle to use (and which ammo to use)...the list goes on.
My AR plinking load uses Hornady 55gr SP's (w/cannelure) and I keep around 1500 of 'em loaded at all times. I haven't had time to pattern my shotgun with any decent coyote loads and thought about using my 223 SBR for shorter range stands. I emailed Hornady to see what the velocity threshold was for proper expansion of the 55gr SP (w/cannelure). Hornady assured me that this bullet is made with a thin jacket and would expand down to 1650fps. Just FYI for those considering this projectile.
